Drama JAWS Jerudong International School, Brunei
Jerudong International School recently hosted Drama JAWS. Two days were spent in highly instructive and dynamic discussions, presentations and workshops by all members. We were fortunate enough to have some extremely knowledgeable and passionate teachers that were willing to share some of their wonderful ideas.
Over two days we covered a wide range of sessions including: use of theatrical lighting (ranging from a torch to and Arts centre), the use of Google Classroom, Laban Movement, The use of Gestus and Epic Theatre in KS3 Drama, KS3 Assessment, Practitioners and the introduction of KS2 Drama in International Schools. These sessions were a mixture of practical activities and discussions as well as sharing resources that would be of immediate benefit in our classrooms and departments.
The highly professional and collegiate atmosphere of both days resulted in a hugely beneficial experience for those involved and resulted in further strong links being made between colleagues in different countries across the region.
We also planned the upcoming FOBISIA Drama Festival, which will take place at JIS in February of 2016. A Company of Strangers will allow all delegates to experience what it was like to be a member of a Shakespearean company. We will perform as an ensemble, wield swords and create original performance all in three days!
Speaking on behalf of the JIS Drama Staff, we certainly felt motivated by what we had seen and learnt during JAWS and in the past three weeks we have employed all the dynamic ideas we learnt.
